Bifold Card Wallet by Blackinkk – A Slim, Sustainable Redesign of the Everyday Wallet

We set out to rethink the classic bifold - simplifying it, slimming it down, and using local, sustainable materials. The goal was to create a wallet that fits our life today: card-first, cash-light, and ethically made. We faced real design challenges in balancing capacity with thinness, durability with elegance and beautiful craftsmanship - all while keeping every detail purposeful and built to last.

The Bifold Card Wallet is a modern take on the traditional wallet - slim, minimal, and made to carry just what you need. Its clever fold design removes unnecessary layers, keeping the profile thin while still fitting six cards and folded bills. We use full-grain kangaroo leather, veg-tanned using natural extracts, to ensure strength without added bulk. The layout includes four intuitive pockets, plus RFID protection and a quick-access slot for tap-and-go cards. Every piece is cut and stitched in Australia, ensuring the quality and finish match the simplicity of the design.

This wallet helps people simplify what they carry and invest in something that lasts. It’s comfortable in a front pocket, encourages you to cut the clutter, and looks better the more you use it. By using kangaroo leather and traditional veg-tanning method, it’s gentler on the planet and supports local tanneries. Small-batch production ensures quality and avoids mass waste. It’s become our most-loved product - often bought as a gift and recommended through word of mouth.

Slim profile: Around 8mm thin when closed, this wallet fits easily in any front pocket. Smart layout: Two internal pockets + two outer ones = space for 6 cards and folded notes, without the bulk. Minimal stitching, clever folds: An origami-inspired design reduces leather layers and seams, keeping the form clean and compact. Locally sourced material: Made from full-grain, veg-tanned kangaroo leather - lightweight, incredibly strong, and develops a rich patina over time. Australian designed and made: Cut, stitched, and edge-finished by hand, in small batches. RFID protection: A built-in RFID-shielding layer helps protect contactless cards from skimming. Fast access: The outer pocket lets you tap or swipe your go-to card without even opening the wallet. Sustainable choices: Local leather, natural tanning, low-waste production, and a design made to last - better for us and the planet.
